Are you saying that other than the three you listed, LT, Peterson and Barber, the rest are dime a dozen?

Because there are quite a few that I don't consider dime a dozen.

Wow, you people need to use a little common sense before trying to attack a person's posts. He obviously didn't mean those were the only ones worth anything, cause he said "etcetera". Geezus, context clues people.

I'll give him right now his hammy is more then likely still bothering him, I mean its not like he changed teams, but right now he's just not running effective, bad hammy mixed in with little training camp spells trouble especially if your not a seasoned vet.

He won't get that pass all year, or very long for that matter, but I'm willing to give him some time, but if he looks like crap vs Detroit you really have to wonder, if it's making him this in-effective he needs to be sitting out.

Oh really. Give me some examples of the Jackson's and Westbrooks of the past decade?

If Jackson had an OL to block for him he'd put up ridiculous numbers, and Westbrook is arguably the most complete back in the NFL (and yes I know about that LT guy out West).

Sarcasm is stating the opposite of an intended meaning especially in order to sneeringly, slyly, jest or mock a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound. Sarcasm can also be used in a humorous or jesting way depending on the intent of the person speaking

Sarmisiopasm is often used as a form of humor and of emotional expression. For example, instead of becoming angry and yelling while in a conflict, one might choose to use sarcasm as an alternative.

"Sarcasm" appeared in English in 1579, from Late Latin "sarcasmos," in turn from Hellenistic or Medieval Greek "sarkasmos," and ancient Greek σαρκάζω (sarkazo, meaning 'to tear flesh'). (In ancient Greek the word for this idea was instead χλευασμός). Irony is closely associated with sarcasm, although Socrates, considered the father of dissembling irony, was not sarcastic. Sarcasm is frequently referred to as the "lowest form of wit" (a partial mis-quote from Oscar Wilde the quote in its entirety being "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence").

He did well??? How about turning one of the worst rushing teams at the start of last season around and making it one of the better ones. Decline in the playoffs??? 201 Yards againist the Seahawks is decline, almost a new NFL record in the playoffs? Ya he didnt put up 201 againist the Giants but he also only got the ball 13 times instead of 27.

This fluke of a runner is also the only person to put over 100 on the Vikings last year. He also almost put up 100 again week 1 and his hammy was poop then. And our o-line isnt that good so thats not why.

since when is saying someone did well an insult? please unbunch your panties.

and he had what? 30something yards against the Giants? lets say he averaged 3.5 YPC(not too stellar). 3.5 YPC is the same on 13 carries or 43.

I complemented him and gave my opinion from seeing him for the past 8+ years, and you go all crazy.(he also fumbled twice against the aforementioned seahawks, who are also the softest team in the league, but I'll let that go...)

LOL, I kinda agree that runningbacks are a dime a dozen, but if Peterson and Tomlinson stand alone at the top, and you can put Marion Barber in there, you can definitely put a lot of others in that category. Barber doesn't strike me as that kind of back.... I mean, lets let him crack 1000 yards before we put him in a tier with Tomlinson who has been stellar since forever, and a guy that just came off one of the most spectacular rookie seasons we have seen, and is looking like he might explode again...

He is what he is, and the media and packer fans loved the story and hyped him up. He has good speed, good vision, and a great fit for a great offensive system. But now that teams have more film on him, they can adjust. I think he is a good RB, but was in a much, much, better system.
